Ghosts of the Week: Shania, Cohen, Unchained

Nov 3, 1990 — “Unchained Melody” rises again
The Righteous Brothers’ 1965 hit re-entered the charts after Ghost hit theaters. Twenty-five years later, the ballad hit No.1 again in the UK. Proof that emotion doesn’t age — it just waits for a new audience.

Nov 4, 1997 — Shania drops Come On Over
The crossover explosion. Country went pop, pop went global. With hits like “You’re Still the One” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”, Shania Twain rewrote what a Nashville record could be — and sold 40 million doing it.

Nov 7, 2016 — Leonard Cohen bows out
At 82, the poet behind “Hallelujah” and Songs of Love and Hate left his final verse. His parting album You Want It Darker was released just weeks before — a farewell whispered with grace, grit, and faith.
